The Worst WOKE Drivel I have ever seen

Moonzy is the story of a transgender child who learns how to convert her friends to harmful transgender ideologies. Moonzy is a solo poly hijabi amputee who forms a poly relationship with the cast. Skip(Bicurious, 22 MtF) learns the meaning of critical race theory. Weebee is a extremly dangerous marxist antifa soldier, who favorite catchphrase is "Death to the Crackers". That damm ladybug bitch has had 3 abortions as well

Like the books, only different.

The books are great. This series is good. The individual seasons follow the stories of the books they're based on. Full season stories are, in my opinion, the only way to depict a good story. Detective shows that resolve mysteries in a single episode are hard to watch.
Perhaps there are some "woke" elements. One of the detectives working for the agency in the later series is a lesbian. Season 5, based on Troubled Blood, has the Agency working for a lesbian couple. You may have noticed my zero wokeness rating. That's because they were portrayed without any apparent agenda. I believe Rowling (Galbraith) to be above that nonsense. It's just simply an incidental part of the story. There's no scenes of affection depicted.
Grainger embodies the literary character of Robin as accurately as you'll ever see in a cinematic depiction.
Burk depicts Cormoran with some differences. Not better or worse, just different. The literary version is larger, more surly, has curly hair, and is missing the other leg. I don't know why that is.
If you haven't seen it, you have 6 (soon 7) seasons to enjoy on a good binge.

Detective film noir with a great actor... with a twist.

It's hard to review this one without spoilers. The major twist shows up around half way through the series. Farrell is a great actor. I think he's highly underrated. I consider Phone Booth the greatest showcase of acting talent I've ever seen. He nailed this part.
It begins with one of my favorite cinematic styles, narrated detective film noir. I was hooked 10 minutes in. Colin Farrell carried this series. His narration was perfection. The supporting cast wasn't impressive, but it worked. The story unfolded a little slowly, but there was a reason for that. Remember the twist I mentioned?
WOKENESS:
In one of the early episodes, there was a honey-trap that, instead of an attractive female getting intel from a middle-aged man, the female part was played by a homosexual. I almost dropped out at that point, but I waited to see if it was one-and-done. It was. My suspicion is that it needed to check that box to get produced. Cinematic entertainment is being held hostage by perverse agenda.
Season two shows up on IMDB and it's obvious that it was intended. The ending was just right. The story was tied up, but an issue that was alluded to throughout season one was put in the forefront at the end to launch season two. It's not the frustrating loose end that holds the story conclusion ransom. I'm looking forward to season two.

Great film

A disturbing and terrifying film about the sex traffic trade of children. "It is a topic that isn't discussed in polite conversation" truly strikes at the heart of this crisis. A must watch for anyone who cares about children's safety. Any animal that hurts children should be locked up and never see the light of day again.

Marvel Studios may be coming back

I don't think anyone will ever repeat the chemistry that was between Thor, Rogers, Stark, Strange and the rest. Thunderbolts is in the shadow of one of the greatest franchises ever created. That's a high bar. The bottom line is, this is worth watching. It's got the same action/comedy/drama ratios as the Marvel movies we all love. As far as Wokeness goes, it's there. I read about gender-swapped characters. I found one. According to Wikipedia, Ghost was male in the original story. That's a woke element. The other female member, White Widow, was female in the original. Also, Dreyfus' hated character was in the 1960's Marvel comics as a leading member of SHIELD. That may be a woke element, but it's true to the original story.
If I were to rate this in comparison with the Marvel Studios Avengers franchise movies, It would be somewhere above Black Panther and just short of Ant Man. It's definitely above the second and third Ant Man flicks. This appears to be the first Marvel project for Director, Jake Schreier. Like I said, the bar was set high for this project. He did well.

Decent legal drama

Overall it's a decent series except that they had to insert some woke feminist gender swap. It is so infuriating that these woke feminists aren't talented enough to write their own novel but instead have to steal someone else's story and put a woman into the males role.

DEI, LGBTQ and White Bashing/Groveling

Where to start? Jake, Law’s character, spends the show groveling to every woman around him—especially his black female co-star. Enter Roxy: the uppity, black, girl-boss in the kitchen, who's in a gay and biracial relationship of course, and apparently the only thing holding Jake’s life together since, as a straight white male, he’s incapable. She can't stop complaining any time Jake doesn't do exactly what she tells him. Then there’s Cleopatra "Duck Lips" Coleman who's Jake’s “prize,” because God forbid we don’t have an interracial couple.

Bateman’s Vince? A bumbling man who can get his act together—naturally, since he’s straight and white. The villains? White, too, with a deaf leader for extra box-checking. Every DEI / LGB square gets ticked. Black male characters? Rich and virtuous. They even squeeze in a #MeToo subplot with Jake’s white friend revealed as a rapist though the victim heaps much of the blame on Jake. And what's with Jake's son, Hunter wishing for ballet tickets for his birthday? Really? How many gay characters can you shoe horn into a mini series? That's 4!!

As soon as everyone can, they start betraying Jake who's only ever been extremely nice to them. Everyone around him is a back-stabber.

There's a police presence in several episodes. Of course the detective is this quite mannish Asian woman who is after Jake and no one else. In this world white men are either bad guys or inept.

By Episode 4, the message is clear: bash straight white men, elevate everyone else. At this point, I’m just waiting for the inevitable trans character cameo.

Wow what a huge letdown after the first one. I can't believe this is the same writer and director. Why would you take a dark, serious, thriller action movie and make a goofy comedy sequel? The characters aren't even the same. Braxton and Chris are portrayed completely different. The highly trained world class assassins are now corny, goofy jokesters. Affleck just looks old and tired. The writing and story are all over the place and jump drastically back and forth between crime thriller and corny comedy. So many pointless long drawn out scenes like the weird speed dating, the line dancing, Braxton arguing with himself about getting a dog. You could of cut at least 45 minutes of pointless nonsense out. What was with the ridiculous seemingly super powered child hackers? I didn't find the female assassin so much as a woke element of just stupid lazy writing. The only thing really woke would be the good illegal immigrants being taken advantage of by white people b.s.

Nothing woke. The female lead is black but she's not the usual aggressive nasty perfect Mary Sue type typical now so I don't really see it as woke. The acting is good, the story and writing are well done. The action scenes are excellent. Just a good entertaining movie.

C'mon. What in the actual hell is going on here?

I kind of watch these films with one eye open but today, I was like, "what in the actual hell?"! The president is a black woman. Ok. Got it. Now, the general or admiral or whatever leader of the aircraft carrier is a platinum blonde, somewhat dyke, woman?

And what's up with the guys in the White House? Fat cat hothead white men who want nothing more than to blow up the world. They're like, "the AI wins. We must blow up and kill now!"

LOL! I forgot the assassination attempt. God damn ciz white people always causing trouble.

And don't get me wrong. You want to put women in these positions it's cool. Can you not make them look like or be lesbians, for one? And just stop with the propaganda. We get it already.

Trying to remember Weapons

I have a hard time remembering this movie, but yeah there's some kind of gay Asian in it. I remember that. I think my wife liked this movie because of the way all the kids ran with their arms out and all. I think that was the only reason. I'm starting to remember the plot and it wasn't really that good for my likings.

Finally, a proper ending.

This was a very fun, fast paced season that brought back Dexter to his original greatness. After one of the worst finale's of all time, and a couple of pretty poor spinoffs, Dexter returned to what he does best...kill bad guys. Although there is some woke elements, they don't really ruin the season because the main man is still Dexter.
